Speedy deletion nomination of Katherine Low Settlement


A tag has been placed on Katherine Low Settlement, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:56, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

explanation
First of all, never copy information into WP from an organization's website. It violates their copyright. Even if you can get permission according to WP:Copyright, the material will be unsuitable--just as this is. It is normally promotional, saying what an organization wishes to say about itself, not what readers of an encyclopedia might want to know.

An article aboutthe organization should give their history, and say what concrete things they have accomplished. It might include a quotation of their goals, but that shouldn't be the main pt. - They will be, as here, rather general platitudes that we consider promotional. To show the organization important, we also need 3rd party references--substantial articles about it from reliable independent published sources.  DGG ( talk ) 18:32, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
